It's just that it pops up a window which shows the message below, so I guess there must be some accelerated DGA which I could benefit from.

Re: XFree86 4 and vmware / DGA
Vmware 2.0.3 works fine on my Woody system, full screen and in a window. I didn't have to do anything to my X configuration to get it working either. I've got Matrox G200 and I'm using the 2.4.0test10 kernel with DRM/DRI. What does the log say?

I'm running a ATI 3D Rage LT Pro. I think this boils down to a fairly simple explanation -- version mismatch. vmware supports one version of DGA, which is also supported by xf86 3.3.x, but xf86 4.0.x supports a different version of DGA. Or, at least, this is how I understand the situation. :-/ -- ``Oh Lord; Ooh you are so big; So absolutely huge; Gosh we're all really impressed down here, I can tell you.''

XFree86 4 and vmware / DGA
Hi, did anyone manage to run vmware-2 fullscreen with DGA on XFree86 4.x ? -- I get the vmware message: Your X server does not support XFree86 DGA accelerated graphics on your display hardware. Full-screen SVGA mode will not have acceleration. You may be able to download an updated XFree86 server at "http://www.vmware.com/xfree86";. I've loaded the 'extmod' module and the 'dga' test program works nicely. I'm running a ATI 3D Rage LT Pro. -- Johannes
